Youth Festival - 2023

 Sunday Reading:- Youth Festival - 2023

Hello Readers! This blog is a response to the Sunday Reading assigned by Dr. Dilip Barad sir from the Department of English, MKBU. In this blog I will write my experience about Youth Festival - 2023.

Man Bhavan Yuvak Mahotsav- 2023

The Youth Festival started with an event called Kala Yatra.  The festival ended with a closing ceremony where they announced the winners of different competitions. This year, Kala Yatra happened on November 2, and the Youth Festival took place on November 3, 4, and 5. The theme for this year's Youth Festival was "NARI SHAKTI VANDANA," celebrating the power of women.

Kalayatra :-

In Kala Yatra, over 10 teams joined the Youth Festival. The route went from Samaldas Arts College to J.K Sarvaiya College, passing through places like Central Solt, Atabhai Chowk, Rupani Circle, Sardar Nagar, and Swaminarayan Gurukul. The judges made fair decisions without knowing specific college names, only using assigned code numbers. Each team had a theme, and the top three were declared winners.

 Winners of the Kalayatra of 2023:-

The KPES college, Bhavnagar

Shri Swami sahajanand college of commerce and management, Bhavnagar 

Sardar Patel group of colleges, Bhavnagar

Opening Ceremony:-

On November 3, 2023, from 9:30 to 12:00, there was an Opening Ceremony in the Amphitheatre. Two students from the Life Science Department hosted the event. They started with the University song and welcomed chief guests, including M.M. Trivedi sir, Sagardan Gadhvi, Amiben Upadhyay, Bhartiben Shiyal, and Dr. Hetalben Mehta, the Principal of Swami Sahajanand College.
